Traffic Group Restructuring

With the impending retirement of longtime principal and vice president Paul Bertrand, P.E., PTOE, GBA’s Traffic Group has been restructured.
 
As of April 2, heading up the group is Mandy Anderson, P.E., PTOE. In addition to being the Traffic Group Leader, she is also the lead for traffic modeling. Her new responsibilities include staffing, business development, strategic planning, simulation modeling (VISSIM, Synchro, SimTraffic) and travel demand modeling (VISUM, TransCAD). Mandy has a degree in civil engineering from Iowa State and a master’s in business administration from Baker University.

Dave Mennenga, P.E., PTOE, is now the group’s technical lead for studies, including traffic impact studies and access justification reports (AJRs). Mark Stuempel, P.E., PTOE, and Janelle Clayton, P.E., PTOE, will share design leadership responsibilities. Mark’s and Janelle’s duties include noise studies, signal design, traffic control design, lighting design and permanent signing design.

“This is an exciting time for our entire group,” Mandy says. “Everyone has opportunities to take on new responsibilities and stretch into new roles.”

Under Paul, GBA’s traffic group has grown to eleven engineers and technicians, and has served various municipalities, counties and DOTs in Kansas, Missouri and other areas across the Midwest. Paul has been with GBA since 1987 and has been a traffic engineer since 1971. He will retire at the end of 2015.
